Red sunlight reflecting off the sea,
A sailboat; its sails reefed,
Silhouetted against the sky.
§
Calmly now, serene and placid
Thoughts fill my mind;
I contemplate the blessings
I have been given.
§
With Gratitude and Appreciation,
I go to my rest,
Knowing how much my life is filled.
So much that many others don’t have,
For which they might have killed.
§
I will try to make life
Better, I will be a better man.
We, Each and Everyone of us,
Needs a place to stand.
§
Red are the dying embers,
The sun has gone to bed.
Red sometimes shows anger;
Don’t take that
With you as you close your
Day.
§
Be watchful, seek
Wisdom, and
Share what
you find.
